Handel Uncaged: chamber cantatas revealed in new context by Lawrence Zazzo on Inventa
Handel Uncaged - Cantatas for Alto Reviewed by Robert Hugill on 7 January 2020 Star rating: 4.5 (★★★★½) Two world premiere recordings and the re-discovery of a cantata sequence puts his music from his Italian sojourn into a new contextHandel: Udite il mio consiglo, Stanco di piu soffrire, Figli del mesto cor, Amore uccellatoreLawrence Zazzo (counter-tenor), Jonathan Manson (cello & viola da gamba), Andrew Maginley (theorbo & guitar), Guillermo Brachetta (harpsichord)INVENTA Handel wrote a considerable quantity of cantatas, music which is still not always as well known as it should be. Whilst the larger scale works with instrumental/orchestral accompaniment are recorded, many of the smaller scale ones are ignored. Perhaps part of the problem is that this is chamber music rather than something on a larger scale. Handel in 1710 Handel's chamber cantatas, for just voice and continuo, were larger written during his Italian sojourn […]

It is not usual to see the young Handel... Anyway I'm not going to demonstrate that he has been slim. I'm sharing some of the operas premiered in his first 20 years of career in the theatres (actually 18 years). I had never listened to any until recently and I decided to make this post for other beginners like me. There is much good music, even if the plot is often not so engaging. By the way, if you happen to find the miniature shown here, give it back to the Händel-Haus in Halle where it was stolen in 1948. Georg Friedrich Händel (1685-1759) Cantate italiane Diana cacciatrice, Il Consiglio, Armida abbandonata, Delirio amoroso, Ero e Leandro, "Spande ancor a mio dispetto", "Ah, crudel, nel pianto mio", "Cuopre talvolta il cielo" Emanuela Galli, Roberta Invernizzi, Raffaella Milanesi, Salvo Vitale, Furio Zanasi La Risonanza, Fabio Bonizzoni Amadeus […]

Breaking: EUYO is saved….. by Italy
We are hearing from reliable sources that the European Commission has accepted a proposal from Italy to resume funding for the European Union Youth Orchestra. The Italian culture minister has announced that Claudio Abbado’s orchestra is saved. “La commissione europea ha accolto la proposta italiana di salvare l’orchestra giovanile europea fondata dal maestro Abbado”. Lo rende noto il ministro dei beni e delle attività culturali e del turismo, Dario Franceschini al termine del Consiglio dei ministri della cultura UE che ha recepito la proposta presentata dal governo italiano per stabilizzare i finanziamenti a favore alla European Union Youth Orchestra. “La EUYO – conclude Franceschini – è un simbolo dell’integrazione europea: con i suoi 160 elementi è un punto di forza della storia musicale dell’Europa unita” Video confirmation in a press briefing here . Although there appears to have been a happy outcome, the EU Commission has been dysfunctional throughout […]
